Joiners and builders in Kidsgrove

Making more of Kidsgrove homes

Kidsgrove has a lot of solid post-war semis and former council houses, alongside older terraces and newer estates. These homes are often well built but short on space, and they respond brilliantly to sensible improvements.

Popular projects in Kidsgrove

• Garage conversions to create a playroom, office or extra bedroom
• Single-storey rear extensions for a bigger kitchen diner
• Porch extensions for extra storage at the front door
• New kitchens and bathrooms to modernise dated rooms
• Under-stairs storage and fitted cupboards to make every space count

We keep projects good value by giving honest advice. Sometimes a well-planned kitchen refit or knock-through gives you the space you need without the cost of an extension.

Kidsgrove and the surrounding villages

We work across Kidsgrove, including the areas around Clough Hall Park and the Harecastle Tunnels on the Trent and Mersey Canal, as well as Talke, Butt Lane, Newchapel, Harriseahead and Mow Cop. Kidsgrove sits in Staffordshire, so planning matters are handled by Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council. The Planning Portal explains which projects need permission.

Homes on the hills around Kidsgrove

Kidsgrove sits on the edge of higher ground, and villages such as Harriseahead and Mow Cop are built on steep slopes. Extensions and garden rooms on sloping plots need careful planning, with deeper foundations, retaining walls or raised floors to bring everything level. Older stone cottages in these villages also need joinery that copes with uneven walls. We will look at the site properly before quoting, so there are no surprises once the digging starts.

Improving former council houses

Many former council houses in Kidsgrove have generous gardens and solid brick walls, which makes them ideal for extending. Inside, they often still have small separate kitchens and dated doors. A knock-through, a new kitchen and a matching set of internal doors can make the whole house feel modern without a huge budget. We will always tell you which improvements give the best value for your home.

Because Kidsgrove is so close to our base, we can usually start smaller jobs quickly and fit them around your week. Larger projects, such as an extension or garage conversion, are planned with you in stages, so you always know what is happening next, how long each stage will take and when the noisy or dusty work will be finished.

From Kidsgrove we also cover neighbouring Alsager, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Congleton. See all of our extension and renovation work.
